Chapter 814: The Wells of Heaven Fully Open, Hua Jin Breaks Through
"Opened! They're finally all open!"Hua Jin the True One gazed at the nine beams of light propping up the sky, her eyes erupting with a look of ecstatic joy.
Senior Chen was truly a blessing she had cultivated for eight lifetimes.
All nine Wells of Heaven were now open.
The seal and suppression placed on her cultivation by the world's rules were lifted once more.
Boom—! A violent suction force spread outwards from her as the center, sweeping up the pure True Essence between heaven and earth. In moments, a terrifying vortex of True Essence formed around her body.
Hua Jin the True One greedily devoured this True Essence.
The fluctuations of her internal realm and her aura swelled correspondingly.
"Break—!"
She formed a hand seal with both hands and roared in a low voice.
The surrounding world shook violently, her cultivation level breaking upwards, directly entering the mid-stage of the Feathered Transformation Realm.
Illusory, multi-colored, crystalline feathers materialized behind her, as if draping her in a layer of exquisite phoenix plumage, but this was not yet the end.
She continued to devour True Essence.
Her body seemed to have transformed into a massive black hole, capable of swallowing any amount of True Essence.
"Break for me again!"
Pop—! Late-stage Feathered Transformation.
"Break again!"
Pop—! Feathered Transformation Grand Completion.
Feathered Transformation Grand Completion. This was the limit of her cultivation from her previous cycle of reincarnation.
Originally, each time she reincarnated and all nine Wells of Heaven opened, the cultivation accumulated from her previous cycle would be completely infused into her.
Thus, with each cycle of reincarnation, she would become a bit stronger than her previous self, naturally taking another step closer to attaining the Dao and ascending to immortality.
However, in this current cycle, she had been squeezed too hard by those sword cultivators referred to as 'the variable'. For revenge, to compete for resources, she had no choice but to accelerate the progress of opening the Wells of Heaven. This led to this cycle having insufficient accumulation; in fact, compared to previous cycles, the Wells of Heaven had been fully opened a century ahead of schedule.
The consequence of this was that she still remained one step away from attaining the Dao and ascending to immortality.
Furthermore, all living beings of Earth Star had been force-fed and filled to the brim with dense True Essence. They hadn't gone through the three normal stages of the Spiritual Revival at all, but rather jumped almost directly from the second stage all the way to the final step. Before they had fully matured, this world was already about to connect with the myriad gods and buddhas.
But Hua Jin the True One couldn't care about that anymore.
The most important thing right now was the premium Celestial Jade Marrow!
"Boundless Myriad Worlds! For This Venerable One, open—!"
Originally, it would have taken Hua Jin the True One considerable time to nurture a miniature world using a medium.
But as her cultivation was infused to the late-stage Feathered Transformation Realm, the emerald green seedling circulating between her hands matured at a visible rate.
When its leaves became crystal clear and its roots and branches robust, a clear, translucent green radiance erupted with Hua Jin the True One at its center.
That radiance swallowed the four Demon Sealing Pagodas, swallowed Lin Fan who was stepping on Chen Niu's avatar, swallowed the barely breathing Chen Niu avatar, swallowed Zhang Mengchu who was looking at the sky with a dumbfounded expression, the disciples of the Kunlun Immortal Palace, and the other Ascenders who had already retreated very, very far but were still caught within its scope.
The world seemed to turn a shade of emerald green.
Crack—!
Sounds like ice crystals freezing. The radiance gradually faded.
And everything before their eyes had changed into a different scene.
This was a world composed entirely of plants and forests.
As far as the eye could see, only vibrant greenery stretched to the horizon. When the gale blew, the forest sea transformed into green waves.
And Hua Jin the True One hovered in the air, standing at the very center of this 'new world', overlooking everyone like a goddess.
Her attire was no longer the plain white dress from before, but was woven from plant leaves and roots. She wore a crown of thorns on her head and held in her hand an inverted plant staff nearly as long as her body. Behind her, densely packed roots transformed into thousands of arms, setting her off like a thousand-armed Guanyin who commanded nature.
"I... what in the world!" Wang Shouyi was utterly dumbstruck seeing Hua Jin the True One's noble appearance.
"Jinjin, so beautiful!"
His voice was very soft, almost inaudible.
But this was Hua Jin the True One's world. Anyone enveloped within it, every move they made, any sound they uttered, could not escape her perception.
Immediately, her pretty face flushed red, the nobility and aloofness on her face almost crumbling. She couldn't help but shoot Wang Shouyi a few reproachful glances.
"The situation has become a bit tricky..." Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng each sat on a giant lotus leaf—these were special seats Hua Jin the True One had arranged for them, but they sat there as if on pins and needles, unable to stop fidgeting.
"Ancestor... Old Zhang, can you tell what level of power Hua Jin the True One has reached now?"
Gu Changsheng swallowed hard, communicating with Zhang Yibai via Divine Sense.
"Hiss—! This lass is a bit too fierce. Who increases their power like this? If this old man's senses aren't mistaken, this lass probably has power above the Great Ascension Second Tribulation... How are Lin Fan and Zhang Mengchu supposed to fight this!"
Zhang Yibai smiled cheerfully on the surface, but internally he was cursing up a storm.
No matter how strong Lin Fan and Zhang Mengchu's combat power was, they were only at the late-stage Void Shattering Realm.
Lin Fan had just defeated Chen Niu's avatar, breaking through during the battle, not only entering Void Fusion Grand Completion but also touching the threshold of the Great Ascension Stage, making him a genuine half-step into Great Ascension. But the gap in cultivation between him and Hua Jin the True One was still far too great.
After Great Ascension, each tribulation is a world of its own.
No matter how many techniques one has, they'd need to be able to escape Hua Jin the True One's World first.
Even if Hua Jin the True One's World was incomparably crude compared to the miniature worlds of the cultivators from their Cangyun Realm, it was ultimately the same type of thing. Relying on the suppression of her cultivation level, it could also form a rules-based crushing of their miniature worlds. On this foundation, they couldn't gain any advantage.
"What should we do? We can't just watch Lin Fan and Zhang Mengchu get slaughtered by Hua Jin the True One with a single stroke, can we?"
As they spoke, Hua Jin the True One had already arrived in the air above Lin Fan, Chen Niu's avatar, and Zhang Mengchu.
She still carried a bit of a cat-playing-with-mouse mentality. After being suppressed so harshly, how could she vent her feelings by simply wiping them out directly?
"Not a big problem." Zhang Yibai stroked his beard and shook his head calmly.
"The Ancestor must have foreseen this situation long ago. Lin Fan and Zhang Mengchu probably won't be in mortal danger. It's just...
The premium Celestial Jade Marrow produced afterwards will likely have to be conceded to Hua Jin the True One.
We can only see if we have a chance to coax these premium Celestial Jade pieces away from Hua Jin the True One..."
At this point, Zhang Yibai was already contemplating how to trick Hua Jin the True One.
And above the battlefield, Hua Jin the True One indeed harbored playful intentions.
She looked down with a sinister gaze at Lin Fan and the others, who were immobilized by the rules of her World, and let out a series of cold laughs.
"This Venerable One said I would settle accounts with you after the autumn harvest. It's not that I wasn't going to, the time just hadn't come!"
"Now—" She made a grasping motion with her fingers. Be it Lin Fan, Zhang Mengchu, or Chen Niu's avatar, all were tightly bound by plant roots.
"You may now speak your last words!"
